The hardest word I've ever seen... No one word in English comes to me so hard as a word "challenging". It's really word of devel :) I saw "challenging" 3-4 times last week. And every time it was translated differently! There is "callenging job", "challenging behaviour", "challenging book".... I really don't understand :)

You understand it, you're just over thinking it.

 

It means something is hard/difficult.

I issue a challenge to you, get the nicest chocolate you can buy, put it in your mouth and do not eat it!!

I challenge you.

 

Wouldn't that be a difficult challenge? Wouldn't that be hard to do?

 

It's very challenging.

You'd be challenged.

 

Challenging behavior means, someone is behaving in a way, that GIVES YOU a challenge, and that challenge is not killing them :D


A challenging book, is a book that is hard to read (either technically or emotionally).

 

A challenging job, is asking you do perform some difficult tasks.

The word "challenge" means the same in all cases, but the challenges (hard tasks to do) themselves, change :D

 

The word challenge isn't the work of the devil, your self doubt.....is 

:D
